Roadmap

Current Release: 0.4.0

What’s new in 0.4.0

• A casting table: each character gets an empty binding of its Blueprint or MetaHuman
• Speaker cameras: a placeholder camera per on-screen speaker, plus a wide camera, cutting on each change of character dialogue. Cameras can optionally be aimed at placed characters from an estimated eye height
• Take Recorder slates from scene and shot codes, with each take recorded against the script lines it covers, virtual-camera recordings included
• Capture lists per scene for the stage, as CSV or Markdown, plus a slate export for Mocap Manager
• Flags on lines rewritten after they were captured, until they’re recaptured or dismissed
• Batch import for series: a folder of episode scripts, per-episode sync and one grouped report
• Naming tokens for render file names that follow script codes, in Movie Render Queue and Cinematic Assembly templates

Features Since 0.3.0

• A report window: each sync’s changes are shown in one list, with a choice per script edit (ripple later shots, extend the shot, ignore, keep, or remove)
• Final Draft lines followed by Final Draft’s own paragraph IDs, so heavy rewrites keep their ID links
• Revision-aware reports for Final Draft scripts: changes grouped by revision set, each changed line tagged with its set
• Markers that follow dragged lines and shots, with shortened labels and IDs that can be hidden
• Merged scenes keep the sequence of the scene that brought the most lines
• Data contract 1.1 for pipeline tools, with every 1.0 file still valid

Features Since 0.2.0

• A master sequence with a shot per scene, or per shot note
• Markers and silent scratch audio for every line
• Optional empty cameras ready for blocking
• Updates on each save, or only when you choose Sync
• EDL and OTIO edits respected
• One machine syncs each imported script, tested with Perforce and Git LFS

Next: 1.0, In Development

• A Script panel inside the editor, and a script display for the capture stage
• A locations table that links scenes to your team’s levels and lighting presets
• Production reports and revision history
• Acts and sequences, transitions, and a subtitle track
• Management of performance takes
• Variants of a script
• Hooks for ShotGrid, ftrack and Kitsu
• A public API and events for pipeline tools
